Having social events at pubs would help more especially pub quiz, hell even sped dating or singles social nights would help or local bands.
The best way would be to lower prices

People can afford to go to the pub until the wee hours?

Doesn’t mean much of it’s somewhere like Belfast where all the buses end by 11pm and the taxis are extortionate.

Reducing the duty on pubs would be the best thing after making ligeslation on the “breweries” margins

Doesn’t matter how long they are open till.
Most folk physically can’t afford to go out for a couple pints.

It depresses me so much that pubs are so expensive now the only ones I can financially justify going to are Wetherspoons.

Sorry, still not going. Prices are insane compared to salaries.

This is a nothing story.
ALL PUBS can have a 24 hour licence. The two main issues are:
– They have to be permitted by the local council
– They have to actually make money and not deal with violence/problems
Regardless of any schemes from the government, it’s going to be very hard to force local councils to give later licences to pubs if they don’t want to. And a lot of pubs just don’t make money after midnight anyway.
In fact loads of pubs close at 9-10pm on weekdays these days, only opening later Thur-Sat.

Adding to what other people have said, opening times are not the issue. Taxes and sky high utility bills are.

Are they putting on later trains and busses too? Because they both end about 11 here. Last I checked last train was 11:10 and last bus was about 10:30 getting me home about midnight. Assuming either run to time or show up.

The place i previously worked as a chef closes at 10pm, staying open late costs money and if you only have five locals sitting there nursing the same pint for hours then whats the point? Footfall has fallen massively in recent years and the food is what keeps the doors open, not the drink.

Deck chairs on the Titanic. Sounds like a nice policy, but means nothing.
